Which version of sonar-ws for commercially versioned sonarqube server edition?

SonarQube Server / Community Build

Hello there :waving_hand:

TLDR: How do i pick the “right” community-version of smth for a commercial versioned sonarqube server? (e.g. the version of sonar-ws to use)

I would like to choose the version of sonar-ws following a pattern.

If i understand it correctly, the open source versioning-scheme is following a date-pattern while the commercial versioning-scheme is using the year and then an increasing number for the n-th release about bi-monthly

Consider me using a locally installed SQ

  • Enterprise Edition
  • v2025.1 (102418)

If i were to pick one of the following versions available in mvncentral for org.sonarsource.sonarqube:sonar-ws … which one would i pick for example for

  • v2025.1
  • v2025.2

I only see the following versions (which are - i presume - versioned after the community date-versioning-scheme)

So … which one of these shown 25.n.x versions should i use for which commercial edition? :flushed_face: :thinking:

cheers

Hi Daniel,

I don’t understand what you’re picking here. Are you trying to list SonarQube as a dependency? If so, why? You don’t need to do that to analyze.

hai :slight_smile:

i am using sonar-ws (configured in maven/gradle as a dependency) in a client to interact with the web_api of a sonarqube server instance of a specific (not most updated) version.

  • i presume the serverside api is changing and the implementation in sonar-ws is trying to keep up

  • because of that, i am under the assumption, that i cannot expect to use the mostest freshest version of sonar-ws to query an older api version of an older not-up-to-date server instance.

i think, it would be most clarifying if i “could just look up” what is the latest compatible version i can use with Sonarqube Server version xy

(actually, i just realize, my parallel opened question concerning the sonarlint-versions is trying to archieve something similar, i think :thinking: )

Hi,

It isn’t really meant to work this way, so there’s no lookup for this. Use the SonarQube Community Build version released just before your SonarQube Server target version. As a rule, SQCB is released at the beginning of the month and SQS at the end.

You can use this file as your cheat sheet.

 
HTH,
Ann

TY Ann, that is actionable advice :white_check_mark: (maybe even documentable, somewhere? just an idealistically tainted thought :innocent: )

also, the linked resource is interesting :nerd_face: :+1: a trove of stuff i have not stumbled upon yet :face_with_monocle:
